NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HomeServe
USA (HomeServe), a leading provider of service plans, repair and
installation services for the home, today announced the acquisition of Geisel
Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc. Geisel, based in
Elyria, Ohio, with offices in Oberlin and Medina, was founded in 1935,
and provides service, and installation of HVAC equipment and plumbing
systems for homes throughout northern Ohio.

HomeServe’s growing HVAC business has been key to the company’s growth
in North America. The company’s goal is to offer a complete solution to
the installation, repair and maintenance of residential heating, air
conditioning and water heating systems. The Geisel acquisition
represents the company’s latest step in capturing a piece of the
estimated $29 billion annual HVAC business opportunity in the U.S.

“There’s nothing more exciting than seeing our company continue to grow
by partnering with quality high-performing HVAC businesses,” said
HomeServe North America CEO John Kitzie. “For 83 years, Geisel’s
customers in northern Ohio have entrusted their homes to the company.
Their shared commitment to high-quality customer service makes them a
natural fit for our company.”

Geisel got its start selling patented gas-conversion burners out of
original owner Claude Geisel’s basement. Over the years Geisel expanded,
winning numerous awards in recognition of its leadership position in the
mechanical contracting field and for outstanding service to the
community.

“We know when it comes to in-home HVAC and plumbing services it’s the
people who make the difference.” said Andy Culberson, president of
Geisel. “By insisting on consistent professionalism, customer-focused
attitudes and empowering all Associates to do what's right, both our
customers and Geisel's Associates have a higher level of satisfaction in
a job well done.”

“That’s why we’ve decided to join forces with HomeServe,” Culberson
continued, “they offer top-notch customer service and have technology
tools that will help us deliver a better experience not only to our
customers but to homeowners throughout the greater Cleveland area.”

HomeServe has been serving customers in the greater Cleveland area since
2006, where the company currently serves 158,000 homeowners with over
300,000 various repair service plans across various trades. However,
only 41,000 of these represent HVAC-related plans, and bringing the
Geisel team into the HomeServe family will increase customer access to a
full suite of repair, maintenance and installation services that were
not available before. For more information about HomeServe, please visit www.HomeServeUSA.com.
